own country. we are among people who
have always shown their friendship and
kindly sympathy towards our predecessor

band and ourself to further the cause of
Christianity and to encourage as far as in
our power the development of these arts
and sciences which make a country pros
porous at home, and admired and respected
abb Dad.
Our visit to England has given us the
greatest pleasure, and will, we trust,
further cement the links of friendship that
bind US so firmly to the people of England
and their beloved and illustrious Sover-
